Calibre is a free and open-source e-book management software that allows users to manage their e-books, convert between different e-book formats, and sync e-books with various devices. It was first released in 2006 and has since become one of the most popular e-book management tools available.

One of the most notable features of Calibre is its ability to organize e-books into different categories and add tags, making it easy to search and locate specific books. It also allows users to edit the metadata of their e-books, including the title, author, and cover image, and can even download missing metadata from online sources.

Calibre also provides a powerful e-book conversion tool, allowing users to convert e-books from one format to another, such as from EPUB to MOBI, or from PDF to EPUB. This is particularly useful for those who want to read e-books on different devices that may not support the same file format.

In addition, Calibre supports a wide range of e-book readers, including Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Kobo e-readers, and can automatically sync e-books with these devices. It can also connect to online e-book stores, such as Amazon and Google Books, allowing users to browse and purchase e-books directly from within the software.

Calibre is an essential tool for anyone who reads and manages e-books. Its powerful features and easy-to-use interface make it a must-have for anyone looking to organize, convert, and sync their e-book library.
